Spray grease that can be applied to used tractor gets new, old look

WD-40 can help prevent rust, and the company recently announced it is launching a vintage can.

People who have experience with used tractors may feel that having a can of lubricant around can make maintenance easier.

Now, they can also be a bit stylish in the product they choose given a limited-time offer from the WD-40 Company. The manufacturer is releasing a special 1950s-style can in conjunction with a newer model that features a fixed aiming straw.

"While the Smart Straw represents the latest in WD-40 innovation, the collector's can represents a rich heritage and America's love affair with the WD-40 brand," Tim Lesmeister, vice president of marketing for the company, said.

The company also announced it's relaunching its fan club, and a web site will give people the chance to share their stories related to WD-40.

Along with making sure a used tractor is rust-free, there are a number of other things people can do to make sure their machines run properly. Those include keeping air filters clean and replacing sparkplugs at the beginning of the mowing season.
